Serve Harry & David's Red Velvet Cake for your Valentine's Day Dinner Party – Giveaway!
Have you thought about pre-ordering a Harry & David classy, moist and rich, delicious cake or even chocolates to serve for a Valentine's Day dinner party? Or better yet, just for you and your loved one to enjoy?
Today I'm giving away 3 Harry & David's Red Velvet Cakes!
I served this cake at a recent dinner party and let me tell you, be prepared to receive accolades when you unveil this beautiful dessert!
For a grand finale, you can serve a homemade chocolate sauce and even ice cream on top. But honestly, it's perfectly delicious on its own.
I researched why and how Harry & David made the cake so velvety. They use an organic tapioca syrup, which adds a sweet flavor and makes the texture of the cake even more velvety than normal. (I have to be honest here, I'll never buy another brand after trying Harry and David's.)
I love how Harry & David also puts LOVE into each individual cake.
The cakes are made in their own bakeries (in my home town, Medford, Oregon), and I've seen the workers assembling and frosting the cakes by hand (the best cream cheese frosting in town!).
This little bit of "handmade" from each individual worker is whipped up into a lovely cake – so decadent – and perfect for you. If you're wanting to eat the best cake ever, get your order in today.
The Red Velvet Cake is also perfect for gift giving. You can send it afar to your loved one or even friends to whom you want to say, Just because we love you!
Invite your friends or neighbors over for a slice of cake and happy conversation!
You can serve 6-7 other people and host your own party! (The cake serves 8 comfortably.) I do consider it a "treat" or a "delicacy," so for once a year, why not splurge on the best?
Make sure you check out Harry & David's other gift baskets and towers. They make the perfect gifts for everyone on your list!

Jason and I both LOVE Valentines Day – and usually go out to a nice dinner (coming home to THIS cake for dessert would be epic!).
I have small gifts planned for each morning in February, up to Valentines… but when we ask each other "what do you want?" we both just say "you" I know AWWW! right? I already have everything I want!

I love, love, love red velvet cake !!!!!!!!!!! I would love to win one as our budget is very tight this year as we try to recover from Sandy. We live in an apartment and the damage was repaired by our landlord, but our water supply was contaminated and I got a horrible infection which caused me to be hospitalized and then on a PIC IV for 6 weeks after that. My husband lost a lot of days from work… some were paid "vacation" days and the rest we just lost. We had to ask our church for food after the FEMA trucks left. We were in an evacuation zone and had no place to go so we rode it out. The wind was the worst I have ever heard in my life. I felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz like my house was going to lift off the ground. I have lived through hurricanes in other places of the country… and tornadoes in the midwest … blizzards in the midwest and New England… but nothing like this. We are still struggling. Valentine's Day will be simple this year… a card. But, I like cards a lot and my husband usually chooses good ones. I also like to get jewelry. Something that I can collect… like the earrings one year and then maybe a necklace to coordinate and then a bracelet… or a gift card to buy books as I love to read… or a gift card to buy shoes. I also love roses. Long stemmed red roses… or white with pink edges "Esperanza" roses (also called Hope or Peace roses) which is what I carried when we got married. That cake looks scrumptious !!! I sure would love to win one… but blessings to whoever does… it will be quite enjoyable for them !

My favorite gift to give is my yearly tradition with my husband, Jorge. We set a time and money limit and then dash into a store together.

My dad was a traveling salesman who was away from home a lot. He sent ME a huge bouquet of roses for Valentines —- I have a picture of me standing on my bedroom chair to smell them. I'm pretty sure they were rather extravagant for my family when I was growing up. That's what makes them so special.

Good luck with the contest everyone!

Caring For A Neon Sign
If you have just purchased a neon sign to place your business's window, you will soon be enjoying the brightly lit advertisement as it will do a fine job at attracting customers into your establishment. Neon signs can last for several years if you do some simple upkeep steps. Here are some ways to maintain your neon so it lasts while retaining its brightness. Clean Regularly Neon signs lose their brightness if they are covered with dust. To remove surface dirt from the neon tubes you will first want to unplug the light from the outlet. Use a soft-bristled nylon brush to wipe down each neon tube completely, removing loose debris in the process. For harder to remove grime, use a piece of microfiber cloth dipped into a mild detergent and water solution. Wipe down each tube with the cloth and use a piece of dry microfiber cloth to remove soap. Allow the sign to dry thoroughly before plugging it back in for use. Remove Stains Nicotine can build-up on a neon light, making it appear much dimmer than normal. To remove nicotine staining, unplug your light and use a cleaner with ammonia in the ingredients. Apply using a piece of microfiber cloth and remove using a clean piece. Make sure you avoid getting the cleaner on any backing of your light, as it may remove the paint. Inspect For Damage If your neon light loses its brightness or if a portion is no longer lighting up properly, you will want to bring it to a repair shop for assessment. It is difficult to replace neon on your own, making it necessary to use a professional to have it done so you eliminate the risk of injury. If you see any portions on your light where the tube is flickering or if there are cracks in the neon tubing, your sign is in need of servicing. Place Properly When placing a neon sign, make sure it is in an area where children or pets will not be present, as there is a risk of injury should one of the tubes become broken. Neon signs are rather delicate, making it necessary to keep them out of harm's way. Place them in an area away from doors or heavy foot-traffic. Make sure the outlet is close by so there is no chance of someone tripping over an extension cord, possibly causing your sign to fall and break. For sign repairs, talk to a...read more
Tips For First Time Bobcat Operators
Just because you can rent a bobcat for work around your home with a regular driver's license does not mean that you have all the skills and knowledge necessary to operate a bobcat. If you are a little unsure of how to effectively operate a bobcat around your home to complete personal projects, here are a few tips for first time bobcat operators that should help you feel a little more confident about operating the bobcat that you rented today. The Primary Uses Of A Bobcat To start with, you need to know what the bobcat you rented should be used for. With the regular tools that a Bobcat is equipped with, they are used primarily for moving large loads of material, supplies and dirt. They are often used in move materials during demolition jobs. You can also rent and attach different tools onto the Bobcat you rented. The most common tools to attach are a tooth scoop, generally for demolition projects, or a smooth scoop for moving dirt, mulch and gravel. Additional tools can be attached to allow for lifting extremely heavy objects that exceed the normal listed capacity of the Bobcat. Turning On The Bobcat To turn on the Bobcat, you will need to insert a key into the ignition, just like you would do with a car. When you turn on the Bobcat, you will see fuel reading as well as warning buttons. Before you can start to use the Bobcat, you will need to disengage its safety features, which generally include an emergency brake as well as a brake that prevents the bucket from moving on its own. Moving The Machine Instead of a steering wheel, there are two controls or levers that allow you to move the Bobcat. In order to move the Bobcat forward, you have to push both controls forward. In order to reverse the Bobcat, you have to pull back on both levers. If you want to turn the Bobcat to the left, you need to pull back on only the left lever. If you want to turn the Bobcat to the right, you need to pull back on only the right lever. Moving The Bucket There are two pedals inside of the Bobcat that allow you to move the bucket or tool that is attached to it. In order to move the tool up or down, you have to press on the left pedal. In order to tip the tool forward, you have to push the right pedal forward. In order to tip the toll back, you have to push the right back towards your body. Additionally, you should try your best to keep the tool or bucket as low to the ground as possible, especially when it is full. This is the easiest way to ensure that the bucket and items inside of it stay level and balanced as you work. If you have any additional questions about how to operate a Bobcat, make sure you ask the rental agency, such asSummit Tool Rentals Division Of Wirtz Rentals, before you take it home and get to work. Once you get the Bobcat home, take a few minutes to practice using the controls before you start moving material...read more
Designing Your Office For Increased Productivity
If you have been in the business world for a while, you know what a standard office space looks like. Entry-level and sometimes other employees are in plain looking cubicles at best and in tiny little cubbies at worst. The environment is very monochromatic and not very conducive to creativity, engagement, and enjoyment within the work space. While this design was based on the theory that anything that is not plain or uniform would cause distraction, reduced productivity, and lower efficiency, the lack of employee engagement it creates counteracts any positive effects it may have. So, get to know ways that you can design your business's office with your employees in mind. Bright Colors Are Not Your Enemy Go to any traditional office in the world and you will notice one obvious similarity almost immediately. They lack of bright or distinguishable colors in the office space. Color palettes in offices tend to be black, white, beige, and other neutral tones designed for efficiency. However, if you want your employees to be happier at work and to be more creative, active, and most importantly, awake, you will want to incorporate more color into your office design. This does not necessarily mean painting your walls neon yellow or green (though if that is the direction you want to go, a single bright accent wall would do the trick). You can incorporate color other ways. Take your office furniture, for example. Office chair upholstery does not need to be black, beige, or other plain colors. Find office chairs that incorporate color and patterns into the seat and backing of the chairs. Choose a variety of colors and patterns and then mix and match at different desks or allow your employees to choose the chair they like best. Natural Light Is The Fix For Lagging Energy Many business offices are like caves in many ways. They tend to shy away from open spaces, windows, and natural light. This is, once again, an effort to keep employees from becoming distracted. However, keeping your employees from being able to look outside or experience natural light can actually contribute to a lack of energy and motivation. The human body is designed to function along with the rhythms and cycles of the day. So, keeping that in mind, use a lot of glass, windows, and natural light in your office design. Give your employees the opportunity and the means to look outside, to enjoy sunshine in spite of working indoors, and to get the biological benefits of natural light. You will find that your employees are more energetic, able to focus, and motivated than they would otherwise feel. Now that you know a few of the ways to design your office with your employees' well-being in mind, you can get to work designing your new office...read more
Three Alternatives To Cheap Custom Signs For Your Business That You Do Not Want And Why
Business expenses can sometimes seem ridiculous. Advertising is an area that you know is a necessary evil, but the costs are astronomical. However, you should not ignore the old adage that "it takes money to make money." Spending money on a custom sign for your business makes it appear more professional as well as personable. If you do not believe that, then here are three very cheap alternatives to a custom sign and why you should not choose them. Cardboard Signs Professional cardboard signs are one thing–they are made to look nice and promote a sale or special event– but cardboard signs you make yourself at home are entirely another. Professionally-crafted cardboard signs look nice and cost less than signs made of vinyl, plastic, neon, or glass, and are actually constructed of many different layers of heavy duty card stock. They may also have laminated surfaces so that the signs can bear up under precipitation. Any other type of cardboard sign will not survive wind and weather, and definitely will not look as nice. Painted-On Signs Assuming you own the building where your business is located or you have permission from the proprietor to paint its exterior, a painted–on sign can look really cheesy. People driving by can miss it, especially in the dark when your "sign" does not light up. If you are going for the painted-on sign, at least hire a professional painter to do it. Otherwise, spend the money and get a sign that lights up and draws people in long after the sun has set. Window Decals Window decals that spell out your business's name and what you do is not a reasonable substitute for no building sign at all. Most people will ignore window signage thinking that it relates to what is happening in-store or in-office at this moment. They are not going to stop, look and read the window decals without first looking for a sign on the building, particularly a sign above the door or out in front of the door. If anything, you can use window decals in conjunction with a custom sign overhead, but not in place of your business's actual sign. Purchasing a Custom Sign for Your Building There are many companies that can make custom signs for your building. Some of these companies can even offer you a payment plan or budget plan while you use the finished sign to alert potential customers of your existence. Best of all, the sign you have a professional sign company make will not look like something your kids threw together at the last minute. For more information, contact a company like Signs In One...read more
3 Ways To Add Privacy To Your Chain Link Fence
If you've recently installed a commercial chain link fence, chances are you chose chain link for its affordability. However, chain link fencing does't provide much privacy. If you want to modify your chain link fence so that its privacy factor is increased, consider a few simple ways you can do so without having to choose a whole different fence. Fence Slats Fence slats are a great option for making your chain link fence more private. These innovations are long pieces of wood, polyethylene, or aluminum and can be affixed to your chain link fence vertically, horizontally, and even diagonally. Measure the height of your chain link fence, as well as the size of the chain mesh and your fence's wire gauge. To measure your chain mesh, simply measure the diamond the mesh forms from corner to corner. Once you have your measurements in hand, head to your local commercial fence supplier to shop for your fence slats. Another benefit of fence slats for privacy is your choices of colors. Not only do fence slats come in a few different materials, they also come in a wide array of color choices. You can make a pattern with two or more colors or keep it simple with a single color. Whichever you choose, your fence slats will give you the added privacy you need for your chain link fence. Rolled Wood Fencing Another option to add privacy to your chain link fence is opting for rolled fencing. This type of fencing is sold by the roll, in a variety of heights, so you can customize it to your existing chain link fence. Commercial chain link fences with heights up to eight feet can be covered with rolled wood fencing. These rolls also come in a nice assortment of woods: bamboo, stick or reed fencing, willow, and dwarf pine are some of the natural materials available with rolled wood fencing. Once installed, you won't be able to see your chain link fence at all. This is a nifty way of including natural elements in your yard, as well as modifying your fencing for complete privacy. Climbing Vines & Plants Have you considered planting climbing vines and plants or hedge plants for added privacy? Depending on what you plant along your fence line, this option can be very practical. Look for climbing and rambling plants like vines and trailing flowers that are native to your location. Once grown, the plants will not only offer privacy for your chain link fence, but they will also add beautiful scenery as well. Some great plants to choose for climbing up your fence include morning glories and moon flowers, clematis vine, passion vine, ivy, climbing jasmines, and black-eyed Susan vine. With love and care, your once-dull chain link fence can be turned into a wonderful climbing garden. Try some of these methods the next time you are contemplating adding more privacy to your space. You don't need to replace any fencing at all. Just dress it up a little bit, and you'll be pleased with the outcome. For more tips for dressing up your fence, contact a professional like those at Security...read more
3 Ways To Make Extra Cash Quickly
Do you need to come up with some extra cash quickly? If so, here are a few different ideas that you may want to consider. 1. Have A Yard Sale Having a yard sale is an excellent way to make some extra cash fast. Another advantage of having a yard sale is that it helps get rid of excess clutter in your home. If the end of your yard sale is fast approaching and you still have a lot of items left, offer to let people stuff plastic grocery bags with items for one low price. Doing this can help encourage people to buy items from you. It will also make it less likely that you will have to haul a bunch of stuff back inside your house once your sale is done. 2. Sign Up With A Temp Agency Signing up with temp agencies in your area is also a great way to make some extra cash. They are almost always hiring on behalf of various employers in your area, so your chances of being able to find work through them are pretty good. Make sure to dress professionally and look well groomed when you show up for your interview. You should also be sure to bring a few copies of your resume with you. It's very important that you show up to the temp agency interview on time. If you're late by even just a few minutes then it's very unlikely that they will recommend you to any of the employers that they represent. 3. Offer To Babysit Do you love spending time with children? If so, then offering babysitting services to parents in your area can be a really good way to make some extra money. One easy way to find potential customers is to post messages on your social media websites letting everyone on your friends list know that you are available to babysit. If you haven't already taken a CPR training class, then it's definitely a good idea to do so. This will help parents feel more comfortable about leaving their children in your care since they will know that you'll be capable of handling any potential emergencies that may arise while you are babysitting. There's no doubt that being tight on money can be really stressful. Luckily though, trying even just one or two of these tips should go a long way in helping you to raise the extra cash that you...read more
How To Freshen Up Hardware On Furniture
When you're making over an old piece of furniture, you must leave no stone unturned. This means renovating the hardware as well to really finish this new look. Keep in mind the correct way to make your hardware go from drab to fab. Preparing First things first, clean up that old piece of hardware. There are a few ways to go about doing this: Clear away grime and grease with denatured alcohol. Since your cleaning cloth is bound to get dirty, it's advised to use an old T shirt. To restore a piece to its former glory, get out white distilled vinegar and very fine steel wool. Apply the vinegar to the hardware and rub it around with the steel wool. Alternatively, wash the piece with degreasing soap and plain old water. You can use steel wool to remove any flakiness. If all else fails, spray some window cleaner on the hardware and wipe it off with a rag. Know that this step is very important. It can be hard for paint to bond with metal, so you must make sure you have a clean and smooth surface before you apply primer and paint. Priming Next, you should prime the hardware item. Select an oil-based primer paint spray made for metal materials. Priming is a critical step since it ensures that your top layers won't peel off and so your fine work won't be lost. Also be sure that you apply a couple of thin layers to prevent globs and drips. Last, don't forget to lightly rub the hardware with steel wool so it's smoothed out. Painting Once the primer dries, you can get started on the most exciting part–spray painting! Again, go with thin applications, which only require two or maybe three coats. Most folks recommend spraying the back side and the flipping it over after it dries to paint the front. If you really want to be clever, you can stick in a few nails to a board that stands up vertically. Hang the hardware at the end of the nails and spray these items all around. Another approach is to jab skewers into a foam pad and then place the knobs on top before spraying them. Sealing You may also use these techniques for the sealing process. A good sealant is recommended to make the hardware more durable and even shiny. Consider using a lacquer finish or a clear finishing spray. Going through all these steps will take time and effort. Yet you should see the fruits of your labor displayed in fantastic-looking hardware that will stand the test of time! Check out your local hardware store to find the supplies you'll need for this...read more
Operating A Small Hotel: 4 Tips For Enhancing Your Return
When it comes to running a business, pricing plays a very critical role. With a small hotel, you can significantly increase your bottom line by using pricing and discount strategies. Here are three initial pricing strategies and one discount strategy to help you obtain more bookings and revenue while getting a leg up on your competitors: 1. Price Match Your Local Competitors More than likely, there are other hotels – probably larger chains – in the same city as you. Even if it is a small hotel like yours, they are still your competitor. Whatever the case may be, you may want to consider offering at least one of your rooms at the same price, while others are at higher rates. This is to help you get the best of both worlds. You'll have the opportunity to bring in more revenue than your competitors, but you'll also be targeting guests who want to save a little bit. 2. Take Part in Psychological Pricing There is a psychological response in consumers when you set a price like $99 versus $100. Consumers are more likely to choose the $99. Although it is only a buck, somehow they are attracted to the $99 price. This is a very odd pricing technique, but it is also very effective. It's definitely worth giving it a shot, even if the potential to boost revenue is minimal. 3. Go Above and Beyond Your Competitors As a small hotel, your rates likely need to be a bit higher than your competitors in order to be successful. However, this doesn't mean that you can't be better than them. With your higher price, consider adding some extras that help to justify the higher room rate. This will set a specific standard that shows your hotel is of a much higher value and is worth the extra money that you put forth to get a room. Just make sure that you deliver on your promises, or your hotel will quickly go down the drain. 4. Don't Be Afraid to Offer Discounts Although you are small and are trying to grow your hotel into a booming business that brings in plenty of money, you may want to consider offering some discounts. This is particularly true for guests who stay for an extended period of time. Alternatively, you could offer a discount for guests who decide to stay an extra night or two. It helps keep your rooms occupied and brings in money, but it also keeps your guests happy and more likely to come back or share their positive experience with others. As you can see, there are several ways in which you can attract guests to your small hotel and ensure that your hotel stays in the game with your competitors. For more ideas, you can talk to a marketing professional or to North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce & Convention and Visitors Bureau who may be able to shed some insight on how you can bring in even more guests and...read more
3 Tips For Motivating Temporary Workers
Workers from a temporary staffing agency provide a number of benefits to your business, including giving your permanent workers assistance with large projects. It is important that you do everything you can to encourage your temporary workers to give their best while working for you. Here are some suggestions for how you can motivate your workers. Select the Right Workers The best way to ensure that you are sent the right workers for the project you have is to be very detailed with the temporary staffing agency. When you contract for workers, you need to detail the skills that the employees need and what kind of personality traits each should have. If you are looking for workers that could potentially become permanent hires, let the agency know. Some workers are only looking for temporary work. You could save on time and energy from training if you only focus on those who are looking to be permanent. Create an Orientation Process Although the workers might be with you for a short period of time, you need to ensure they understand the dynamics of the company and what is expected of them. Do not assume that they know what to do. Show them. To ensure that your workers are on the same page, you need to establish an orientation process. During orientation, you can explain exactly what is expected and offer training. You can even assign one of your permanent workers to each temporary worker so that they have a mentor to guide them. Appreciate Your Workers Just like your permanent workers, the temporary hires will respond well to acknowledgements of their work. Take the time to thank your workers and offer incentives. For instance, you can offer to take your temporary workers out to lunch to show appreciation for helping complete a project. You also need to show them respect. By showing respect, you let the workers know that what they are doing matters, which can have a direct impact on how well they work. Even if they are only there for a few days, make an effort to be respectful. You might find that some of the workers would make great permanent members of your team. One of the best reasons to take the time to motivate your temporary workers is word of mouth. If you are a great employer to work for, you will find that you have very little trouble finding the right kind of workers to fill positions. For more information on temporary employment, contact a company like BIRK Staffing & Technical...read more
Storing Lumber In A Storage Unit
You may have a lot of lumber for a coming project but for whatever reason life throws your way, you now have to wait for an indefinite period until you can put your lumber to use. But you will want to carefully choose your storage location so your lumber is in good shape when it is time to use it. Use Climate-Controlled Storage The best storage facility for lumber is one with a climate controlled storage unit. The lumber will be likely to rot if it is unloaded in a damp location. Inspect the lumber before you add it to storage to make sure that it is not growing mold. Keep the Lumber Off the Ground The lumber can usually be stored safely simply in a neat pile. However, you will want to use something to keep the lumber off the floor, such as using pieces of scrap lumber you will not otherwise use. Moisture can seep through concrete and will cause the lumber to become damp, increasing the rate of decay. If the storage unit comes with shelves or if you add shelves to your unit, this will help keep the wood off the ground. The wood should be stored as flatly as possible. Otherwise, gravity can cause the wood to warp somewhat out of shape, making it less usable. However, depending on how rigid your lumber is, it may be more convenient to store your lumber upright. Make Sure the Lumber Acclimates The temperature at which the lumber is kept at should be similar to the temperature that the lumber will be kept at when it is finally put to use. This is because lumber needs to acclimate to any given temperature. Also, if you do decide to bring more lumber from the lumberyard to your wood shop, you will not want to begin working on the lumber until it has acclimated. This can sometimes take months to achieve. Cover Lumber That is Stored Outside If you have to store your lumber in an outdoor location, cover the lumber with a material that will protect it from the elements. Polyethylene is one example of a material that acts as an effective moisture barrier. Engage in Stickering with Green Wood If the wood is still green, you will need to engage in stickering. This is where you place the wood on top of sticks to allow circulation around the wood. However, it is more likely that the wood you are storing will be...read more

Inveraray Castle & Loch Lomond Tour
Today we are going on a shore excursion with princess so a relative early start. I should point out that if I have to get out of bed before 7 …its early. Particularly when they take away an extra hour that I could have slept ( we changed Time zones again and had 1 hour less). Even though I've been out of bed and ready to go, Geoff has spent the last hour trying to wake me up. Then he tells me to have my tablets. So does he want me awake or asleep? ...
Greenock (Glasgow), Scotland
Greenock is the port city for Glasgow. It used to be a major shipbuilding city with about 40 companies but all but two of them have had to close. We spent the day touring the Scottish Highlands with 14 other Cruise Critic members. Out driver/guide, Garry, is a Greenock native and showed great pride in being a Scot. He wore a kilt but he said it was not just for our sake – he prefers to wear it instead of pants. ...

Since he doesn't include it in his 3-week itinerary of Great Britain, I decided against it and ended up taking a walk through Greenock instead.

Great boots! Can't wait to wear them soon.
Bought these boots last year on vacation and I can honestly say they are great! These boots look good, comfortable and you can wear them all day with no problem.
I bought these boots in grey last year and from the first day I put them on I never wanted to take them off. They are like wearing slippers. I am looking at getting them in brown and black now because they far surpass any other boot I own. I love the heal height as it is not too short or tall. I can wear them with dresses or casual with pants. If you want a boot that is comfortable and good looking, this is the one. Oh did I mention the compliments I get when I wear them? The quality is excellent and these will last me for years to come. Well worth the investment.
Really enjoying these boots. Lots of compliments! Comfy and warm.

There are two basic models of a legal system. 1. Innocent unless proven guilty. 2. Guilty unless proven innocent. Both systems have their advantages and faults. The bias of the former, is that it will allow more people who are truely guilty to be found by law innocent. The bias of the latter is just the opposite: more people of true innocence will be be unfairly incarcerated. As Israel has embraced the model of "innocent unless proven guilty", Katzav MUST be cleared of rape charges. One day he will meet his maker, and may he be truly judged Katzav and witness "A" alone know what final judgment awaits him.

Bright Young Things (edition 2010)
by Anna Godbersen
Work details
Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Cordelia Grey and Letty Larkspur have always known they don't belong in the small Midwestern town they grew up in. Together they decide to run away to New York City. Letty dreams of making it big--of seeing her name in lights--but so does every other girl in town. Unfortunately for her, some are willing to do almost anything to make it happen, things she isn't comfortable with. Cordelia is in search of a father she's never met. When she finds him, she is thrust into a world of money, glamour...and danger. She befriends Astrid Donal, her half-brothers girlfriend, who becomes her confidante. The three girls experience what the Roaring Twenties had to offer in NYC together, as well as apart.
I became interested in the Roaring Twenties my junior year of high school when we studied it in history, so I was super excited to read a historical fiction novel based in that decade. I'm not sure how accurate any of the information actually is, but it was still cool to read about. I particularly love how during this time women aren't expected to be prim and proper at all times. Despite being set in this decade though, it mainly focuses on the three teenage girls and what they are going through which makes this relatable and relevant to teen girls now.
I also really liked that the chapters alternated between the three girls perspectives. It was nice because each was seeing a completely different side of the city. We get to see what it might have felt like to be a cigarette girl through Letty. Cordelia's, as well as Astrid's, perspective gives us a first hand look into the rich, powerful, and dangerous lives of the bootleggers. Each have very distinct personalities and are all very likable. I always end up having a favorite character by the end, but I don't think that happened this time. They're all great!
I adored Anna Godbersen's Luxe series and this one is just as great. If you haven't had a chance to read either, get to it! They aren't too heavy on the historical fiction so these are great even if you aren't into this genre.
I really enjoyed this book. I love love love reading about different eras. The Luxe series was really awesome and I just knew this book was going to be just as good. I think Anna Godbersen is one of my favorite authors. Her style of writing is really good. It's easy to follow the plot line and you never know what to expect. I was really excited to read all the Luxe novels and then was doubly excited to read Bright Young Things. I cannot wait for the next novel to come out. This is definitely a must read if you like Young Adult Fiction
Cordelia and Letty were two farm girls from Ohio who dreamed of making it big in the N.Y.C. of 1929, and manage to escape their small Ohio town to make a new life for themselves in the Big City. Separated after a falling out, Cordelia reconciles with her long lost bootlegger father and lives the life of the rich and famous, while Letty struggles to make ends meet as a cigarette girl with dreams of becoming a famous singer. Through lies, disappointments, backstabbing and more, they make new friends (and enemies) on their ways to learning that N.Y.C. is not everything they thought it was cracked up to be.
I really liked this book! The author does an amazing job of emerging the reader into the roaring twenties. It is a story of two girls trying to find themselves in Manhattan after living in a small Ohio town. One girl dreams of being an actress and the other wants to find her father, who is a famous bootlegger. There is romance, (some forbidden), glamour, swanky outfits, and some new vocabulary to learn for those like me who were not as familiar with the time period. If you are looking for something new to read that is not dystopian or supernatural, or you like the 1920's and all its fashion and sparkle, you will love this book!
So not The Luxe.

CD Direct Metal Mastering Technology: A Step Toward a More Efficient Manufacturing Process for Compact Discs
A more efficient method of producing Compact Disc pressing masters and stampers is described. This new technology allows stampers to produce more directly, avoids complicated and sensitive steps during their production, and eliminates the need for a clear-room environment. The necessary initial investments are much lower than those required for the currently used laser mastering method.

Vince Young attending Browns minicamp for a tryout
Vince Young is a quarterback who, despite playing decent during his career and having a winning record as a starter, hasn't been able to find himself back in a starting role in a couple years. Many thought he would have a shot to start for the Buffalo Bills in 2012, and he didn't even make it out of the preseason. He spent a portion of last season with the Green Bay Packers.
Now, Young once again will find himself in a position to at least compete for a backup role with the Cleveland Browns. He will be attending their voluntary minicamp on a tryout premise this week, and given the Browns other two options are Brian Hoyer and Alex Tanney, the interest in him isn't exactly surprising. Hoyer showed flashes of talent last season, but is coming off a torn ACL.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is a native Tennessee guy, and let us not forget Young made the Pro Bowl twice as a Titan. While I doubt anyone thinks Young is the answer at quarterback for a starving franchise, if he can play anywhere close to the levels we've seen him on before, Young wouldn't be a bad acquisition. Expect the Browns to select a quarterback somewhere in the draft as well to create competition this summer at their biggest position of need.

Dr Alma McCarthy, Executive MBA Programme Director, NUI Galway, said: "We very much look forward to welcoming back our very successful MBA alumni. This is a great opportunity for them to return to the University, see the new Cairnes Business School, reconnect with their MBA classmates and network with other NUI Galway MBA graduates and potential business partners."
A number of alumni who are located oversees have registered to attend the event and the conference has received funding from The Gathering.
"The NUI Galway MBA programme is the second oldest MBA programme in the Island of Ireland and is the flagship programme in the School.
